Suicidal Thoughts

Give Suicidal Thoughts a Second…and Third Look….or As Many as it Takes

Confusion, sorrow, loneliness, and even depression are normal aspects of our existence, and it’s not unusual for these emotions to get the best of us and seemingly outweigh previous feelings of happiness.

However you may feel right now, chances are, there have been times when you didn’t feel this way. This suggests that something has changed in your life to get you in this particular current state, but it additionally means that changes are possible to help get you away from your present situation.

Taking your own life may seem like the only solution, but in reality, there are many other solutions available with the right guidance and support.

There is Hope from Suicidal Thoughts and Only You Possess the Power to Discover It

One thing to consider before taking drastic actions that cannot be taken back is this – just because you don’t see an immediate solution it doesn’t necessarily mean that one doesn’t exist – only that you are not seeing it right now.

Keep in mind that most crises that lead people to contemplate suicidal thoughts are only temporary. Substantial studies show evidence indicating that most issues that foster thoughts of suicide are resolvable or treatable.

Your situation, regardless of how hopeless it seems, can be resolved. All you need is the right help. Seek professional counseling, or turn to a trusted friend or loved one if feasible. Take advantage of the anonymous and confidential resources available nationwide through suicide prevention hotlines and local outreach programs.

you may feel like that now but you were not born with your husband life has a lot to offer..lost my husband to cancer one year ago today..i know I have to learn to be alone without being lonely..your heart is broken.. it will heal..try loving yourself

I understand completely how you are feeling. I too lost my husband at the age of 32. Widowed at a young age with 3 children was not in my plans. Trust me that it does get easier and the pain you are feeling will ease. Nothing can make you feel better except time. I wish there was a less painful way to get through loosing the one you love most. So sorry for your lose. Time will ease your pain and your memories of him can never be taken away.

I’m 34, going back to as early in life as I can remember when people weren’t ignoring me, they were mistreating me. Childhood was like learning to understand that something was out of sorts with me that made other people take a natural disliking to me. Last year I made $80k, I have a nice apartment, drive a great car, physically I’m athletic, toned. I don’t look in the mirror and see a monster, I see someone who I think is reasonably attractive enough, I’m no Adonis but I don’t have an deformities. But the only people who spend time caring about me are people who feel obligated to do so and only to the extent of that obligation, even family, those that I care the most about, they don’t always answer the phone when I call. I put myself out there, I try, I get weary from trying, how long are you supposed to try and still no one cares that I exist. I’m just in the way. 34, and I’ve had to deal with suicidal thoughts since I was 10. The worst trick in life is the harder I try to improve myself, the better I become, the starker the contrast, the less sense it makes that no one has any interest in me.

I understand how you feel. It’s hard to try and fit in and yet yet still feel on the outside of everything. Other people are absorbed in their own lives and they don’t see your pain. Don’t look for acceptance just be who you are and try to do the things you love. Remember that human empathy and kindness are our greatest gifts. It’s very sad that as a child you didn’t feel loved and this has stayed with you your whole life. Our parents are often not equipped to provide all we need, they can be selfish, pre-occupied and pretty rubbish really. As an adult put this into perspective, learn from their mistakes and try to forgive them. I write to you at a very low point in my life, hence being on this site. Take care of yourself, that’s what I’m trying to do.

It’s now 3:15am and I’ve been awake since 2:00. I dreamt that he wanted divorce and wanted me out of the house. It’s usually small things we fight about and it really hurts because it happens every second week. We don’t talk,.,.,it’s not fun to come home anymore,.,.im having suicidal thoughts,., but then it’s so difficult because I’m thinking of my 2 beautiful kids,.,.

I,ve thought about suicide since I was 12yrs old and had 2 serious attempts I’m now 55yrs old and I try syching my self up to jump of the suicide bridge near where i live…I tell myself I’m a coward for not doing it…afraid that I will succeed

My only child died last Thanksgiving. He was 50 and disabled. We came to the US together from England. I married a man who, I discovered,did not want my son in his life. Three months after my son’s sudden death my husband was diagnosed with dementia and just wants me to wait on him hand and foot. I feel alone. I have no one to talk to because he is profoundly deaf. I’ve found that our bills have not been paid for a long time and I’m struggling to sort all of this out. How long can I go on? Every day is a week.

My life is ruined. I abused alcohol for a short time and my husband and kids found out. My husband got a restraining order and my kids don’t even want me back. I’ve been sober for six months, bouncing between hospitals and sober houses. Ive been sober six months but I only get sadder and sadder cause Ive lost my family and the thought of suicide gets stronger every day. I just am so broken. Im now too poor to live any other way. My existence just doesnt matter anymore…
